    What's special

    Fenced front yardShaded by tall pinesRoomy side lawnFresh interior paint throughoutLevel corner lotPantry for extra storageBright vaulted dining area
    Welcome to 601 Rio Grande St, a classic 1937 cottage on a level corner lot in Portola, shaded by tall pines and just minutes from downtown and Lake Davis, where locals head for trophy trout, kayaking, lakeside camping & winter ice fishing. A fenced front yard, roomy side lawn & paved driveway make coming home simple, with space to garden or let the dog run. Inside, this 2-bed, 1-bath home offers vintage character, a durable metal roof and fresh interior paint throughout, with plenty of potential for a buyer ready to refresh and make it their own. The kitchen is set up for everyday use, with an island for prep and casual meals, a pantry for extra storage, and room to cook comfortably. It opens to a bright, vaulted dining area with additional counter space for serving or a coffee station. The living room has good natural light and plenty of space to gather or settle in after a day outdoors. Two bedrooms with closets provide quiet space to rest, and the bath includes a spa tub. The large laundry room has storage and its own side entry, so it doubles as a mudroom for wet boots, jackets & muddy gear. Outside, the porch & patio are ready for summer evenings, the storage shed and detached 1-car garage give you room for bikes, kayaks & snow toys, and county-maintained snow removal keeps winters manageable. Portola High School is just steps away, and weekends are easy to fill with camping at Frenchman Lake, hikes up Beckwourth Peak & golf at Grizzly Ranch, with Reno & Truckee about 45 minutes away. It's a comfortable home base for the Lost Sierra lifestyle.
